GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time
required for recharging will be restored by recharging
the batteries 2–3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1)
Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2)
Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

English
CAUTION
●
When the battery charger has been continuosly
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes
rest until the next charging.
●
If the battery is charged while it is heated
because it has been left for a long time in a
location subject to direct sunlight or because the
battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of the
charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5
seconds (off for 0.5 seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
●
When the pilot lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger’s battery connector. If

8. Switch operation
○
When the switch trigger is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
When releasing the trigger of the switch, the brake will
be applied for immediate stopping.
○
The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by
varying the amount that the switch trigger is pulled.
Speed is low when the switch trigger is pulled slightly
and increases as the switch trigger is pulled more.
CAUTION
●
The motor rotation may be locked to cease while
the unit is used as drill. While operating the
driver drill, take care not to lock the motor.
●
If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power
off . If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or
battery may be burnt.
●
Do not tighten too strongly as the screw heads
will be damaged.
9. How to select rotational speed
CAUTION
●
The selection examples shown in Table 7 should
be considered as general standard. As diff erent
types of tightening screws and diff erent materials
to be tightened are used in actual works proper
adjustments are naturally necessary.
●
When using the driver drill with a machine screw
at HIGH (high speed), a screw may damage or a
bit may loose due to the tightning torque is too
strong. Use the driver drill at LOW (low speed)
when using a machine screw.
NOTE
The use of the battery in a cold condition (below
0 degree Centigrade) can sometimes result in the
weakened tightening torque and reduced amount of
work. This, however, is a temporary phenomenon,
and returns to normal when the battery warms up.
7. Tightening torque adjustment.
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity to
the screw diameter. When too strong power is used,
the screw head may be broken or be injured.
Be sure to adjust the clutch dial position according to
the screw diameter.
(2) Tightening torque indication (See Fig. 11)
The tightening torque diff ers depending on the type of
screw and the material being tightened.
The unit indicates the tightening torque with the
numbers “1, 5, 10 ... 20” on the clutch dial, and a dot.
The tightening torque at position “1” is the weakest
and the torque is strongest at the highest number.
(3) Adjusting the tightening torque (See Fig. 11)
Rotate the clutch dial and line up the numbers “1, 5,
10 ... 20” on the clutch dial, or the dot, with the triangle
mark on the outer body. Adjust the clutch dial in the
weak or the strong torque direction according to the
torque you need.
